It is Hardy's way of developing both characters and themes further through his description of setting. He also often uses pathetic fallacy as a technique to foreshadow future events in the novel, such as the ominous use of fog before Tess' rape.
I do not believe that Jim Hawkins has a clear visual description in the book Treasure Island. I have beensearchingfor the answer as well and it is not mentioned in the book.
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a lot of books, but here are some of his most popular books:

because he thought that the U.S. was intresting since he was from scottland
he was 44 at the time of his death from a brain hemorrhage.
Jekyll and Hyde are 2 characters in the book "Jekyll and Hyde" (a bit obvious, eh?)
Where the original character, Jekyll makes a potion in which it carries out in a person their most evil being or state thus creating and calling himself Hyde. So basically the potion creates dual personalities in which one is good(normal) and the other which is totally evil^^
the things that are in the draw at the end of the book
by Robert Louis Stevenson
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
Dr. Jekyll was transformed into Mr. Hyde without using the potion.
Edgar Allan Poe, one of the founders of modern horror writing, has also influenced Stephen King's writing. It is in human nature to delve into the morbid realms of life, and both Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King do this in their writings. These two men appear to have an oddly similar morose obsession with death, terror, horror, and murder; many of Poe's and King's characters come to an untimely demise. In looking at both Poe's and King's works, one can see how Poe may have influenced King's writing.
Stevenson was a celebrity in his own time, but with the rise of modern literature after World War I, he was seen for much of the 20th century as a writer of the second class, relegated to children's literature and horror genres.[52] Condemned by authors such as Virginia and Leonard Woolf, he was gradually excluded from the canon of literature taught in schools.[52] His exclusion reached a height when in the 1973 2,000-page Oxford Anthology of English Literature Stevenson was entirely unmentioned; and the Norton Anthology of English Literature excluded him from 1968 to 2000 (1st-7th editions), including him only in the 8th edition (2006).[52] The late 20th century saw the start of a re-evaluation of Stevenson as an artist of great range and insight, a literary theorist, an essayist and social critic, a witness to the colonial history of the Pacific Islands, and a humanist.[52] Even as early as 1965 the pendulum had begun to swing: he was praised by Roger Lancelyn Green, one of the Oxford Inklings, as a writer of a consistently high level of "literary skill or sheer imaginative power" and a co-originator with H. Rider Haggard of the Age of the Story Tellers.[53] He is now being re-evaluated as a peer of authors such as Joseph Conrad (whom Stevenson influenced with his South Seas fiction) and Henry James, with new scholarly studies and organizations devoted to Stevenson.[52] No matter what the scholarly reception, Stevenson remains very popular around the world. According to the Index Translationum, Stevenson is ranked the 25th most translated author in the world, ahead of fellow nineteenth-century writers Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe.[54]
